So I know this topic has come up in threads before, but I have honestly always wondered: if the people on this base are assumingly the "biggest" Hip fans out there, what do our album rankings look like collectively as a group?

I have to admit, I have been inspired by the amazing work on the tour stats, and since I am a stat loser at heart, I'd like to volunteer to compile the groups collective list. All you need to do is rank The Hip's major studio releases in the order of 1-11, with 1 being your favorite. I will then take the results and come up with an average ranking for each album to determine how the albums stack up amongst the base.

Feel free to say why you rank the albums where you do if you'd like, but it doesn't really matter to me, since we all have our own reasons for why certain albums appeal to us. I'm more concerned with seeing how the group as a whole looks at the Hip's catalouge.

I will let this sit for a week or two (or until interest seems to die) and then compile the results. I hope you all find this worth doing.

My list:

1-Phantom Power
2-World Container
3-Fully Completely
4-Road Apples
5-In Violet Light
6-Music @ Work
7-Day For Night
8-We Are The Same
9-Up To Here
10-In Between Evolution
11-Trouble At The Henhouse

vwowur last is my first. Tough to do, mine changes up, this year at least is::

1. Trouble at the Hen
2. Fully
3 WATS
4 Day for Night
5 Road Apples
6Up to Here
7phantom
8M@W
9World
10In Violet
11In Between Evolution

Now that I see this discussion, I actually feel like a change up is in my list is needed. So here is what I think:

1. Phantom Power (Always and forever)
2. Music@Work
3. Trouble at the Henhouse
4. We Are The Same
5. Day For Night
6. Road Apples
7. In Violet Light
8. Fully Completely
9. World Container
10. In Between Evolution
11. Up To Here

01. Phantom Power
02. Music@Work
03. Up To Here
04. We Are The Same
05. Road Apples
06. Fully Completely
07. In Between Evolution
08. In Violet Light
09. Trouble At The Henhouse
10. Day For Night
11. World Container

...and I really like World Container, Day For Night, and Henhouse...
This list is everchanging, except the top 2.

1-DFN
2-FC
3- TATH
4-IBE
5-PP
6-RA
7-UTH
8-MAW
9-WC
10-WATS
11-IVL

mine are:

1-Fully Completely
2-We Are The Same
3-Trouble At The Henhouse
4-Phantom Power
5-Music @ Work
6-In Violet Light
7-World Container
8-Up To Here
9-Day For Night
10-In Between Evolution
11-Road Apples

Ack! This is tough. Right now mine are:

01 Fully Completely
02 Day for Night
03 Phantom Power
04 Music at Work
05 We Are the Same
06 Road Apples
07 Up To Here
08 In Violet Light
09 Trouble at the Henhouse
10 In Between Evolution
11 World Container

But even putting that down on paper doesn't look right. Several of those albums should be on the same line!

Thanks for the replies so far...already seeing some trends!

My challenge in ranking the albums is that the bottom four feature some of my top ranked single tracks but are such a let down as a complete album compared to my top four.

1. Road Apples
2. Phantom Power
3. Day For Night
4. Trouble At The Henhouse
5. We Are The Same
6. Music@Work
7. In Violet Light
8. Fully Completely
9. Up To Here
10. In Between Evolution
11. World Container

1. Fully Completely
2. Day For Night
3. Road Apples
4. Phantom Power
5. World Container
6. Music@Work
7. We Are The Same
8. Up To Here
9. In Violet Light
10. Trouble At The Henhouse
11. In Between Evolution

Everything from 2 through 6 is in the discussion for 2nd place, and change regularly. 1 and 7-11 is pretty stable.

1. Phantom Power
2. Day For Night
3. Road Apples
4. Up To Here
5. Fully Completely
6. We Are The Same
7. World Container
8. Trouble at the Henhouse
9. Music @ Work
10. In Violet Light
11. In Between Evolution

... that feels so very wrong, but it's the best I could do.
